Rep. Chip Roy defended Pete Hegseth, emphasizing that everyone has personal indiscretions and portraying Hegseth as a victim of a smear campaign by certain senators. He argued for defending Hegseth due to his potential to challenge the defense establishment, highlighting that "we've all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that." Roy underscored the need for Hegseth's candidacy to move forward despite allegations against him.
Responding to inquiries about his past, Hegseth stated, "I will answer all of these senators' questions. But this will not be a process tried in the media." He expressed his commitment to the Senate confirmation process, clarifying that his accountability lies primarily with President Trump and the Senate, stressing that he represents a broader mandate for change.
